Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz are both under-performing on their fund-raising goals, and their America First PAC is running short of cash reports Mother Jones. “In its first few months, the Put America First PAC raised $360,000…but new campaign finance filings made by the PAC [show] it now has just $13,000 in cash…Multiple tour stops were cancelled this summer. Gaetz and Greene did hold at least one major event in Iowa in August. Despite attracting big headlines, the rally was, apparently, a financial bust. The group spent $159,000 from July 1 to September 30, and raised just $57,000.”

“[Greene’s] fundraising totals are increasingly eaten up by the costs of chasing donors and paying off the operatives and professional fundraising consultants and vendors that she hires…In the first three months of the year her campaign spent about 43 percent of what it raised. In the next three months, that number increased to 59 percent. And for the past three months, the figure jumped again to 70 percent. She spent more than $1 million to haul in $1.5 million.”

“Like Greene, Gaetz had a strong start to the year, raising $1.8 million in the first quarter [but] his fundraising has all but dried up. He raised just $527,000 from July 1 to September 30. He spent far more—$627,000—trying to raise that money…Gaetz’s campaign also spent lavishly on stays at hotels and resorts across the country. In total, the campaign spent $29,867 on lodging over July, August and September, including $2,300 in early July at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Naples, Florida; $2,100 on an ultra-luxury hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon, in early September; and almost $1,500 on a Kimpton hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts in August.”
